The Scene
Located in the teeming International Drive area near Universal Studios Escape, this outlet mall-o-rama is a destination in itself. With more than 170 shops and eateries, plus ongoing events, there's enough here to keep a shopper busy for days.

Specs
Belz calls its shopping area "the largest non-anchored factory outlet center of its kind in the country," and the hype is true. It contains more than 700,000 square feet of shopping space, covered in two fully enclosed malls and four strip centers.

Shops
With a mix of shoemakers (Dexter, Aigner, Van, Bass, Reebok to name a few), clothiers (Izod, Van Huesen, Puma, Calvin Klein, Liz Claiborne, Oshkosh B'gosh) and stores like the Diamond Exchange, the Bible Factory Outlet (no kidding) and Mikasa Factory Store, there's a store for almost everyone. Accessories, luggage, books, music, electronics, sunglasses, fragrances: you name it, there's a vendor.

More Than Shops
The complex also hosts seasonal activities--especially holiday-related events--and several craft shows throughout the year. There's even an anniversary tent sale in October and live entertainment during the December holidays. Call (407) 352-9611 to see what's happening.
